Stock problem.
A stock just reported earnings of $5.00 per share and just paid a dividend of $2.6 per share. Investors require a 11% return to invest in this company, and the company makes a return of 8% on investments. Find the PVGO. Keep 4 decimals in your growth rate calculations (for example, 10.12%), and then round your answer to 2 decimal places.
PVGO = CUrrent Price of Stock with growth - CUrrent Price of stock without growth
Retention Ratio = Retained amount / EPS
= [ $5 - $2.6 ] / $ 5
= $ 2.4 / $ 5
= 0.48
Growth Rate = Retention Ratio * Ret on Equity
= 0.48 * 8%
= 3.84%
Current Price with Growth:
= D0 ( 1+g) / [ Ke - g ]
= $ 2.60 ( 1 +0.0384) / [ 0.11 - 0.0384 ]
= $ 2.60 (1.0384) / 0.0716
= $ 2.6998 / 0.0716
= $ 37.71
CUrrent Price without Growth:
This measns entire earnings paid as DIvidend
= Dividend / Req Ret
= $ 5 / 11%
= 45.45
PVGO = 37.71 - 45.45
-7.75
